Are you diabetic or on a low sugar diet and need something sweet? Do you crave sugar and feel guilty after eating it? Low sugar diets can be a challenge for the sweet tooth in all of us. There is some good news though, your diet restrictions don’t have to hold you back from enjoying sweet flavours anymore.
Here is something to consider – there are many people out there with pre-diabetes (impaired glucose tolerance), and because there are almost no symptoms, they do not know that they have it. Diabetes UK estimates that around seven million people in the UK have pre-diabetes.
1 out of every 3 people diagnosed with pre-diabetes will become diabetic within 10 years of diagnosis unless they do something about it.
Scary, isn’t it?
The benefits of eating sugar free are a sizeable and motivating factor in making the change from sugar-based sweets. Weight loss is always a consideration that comes hand in hand with reduced hunger cravings. An increase in mental clarity will be noticed, which is sometimes why we crave sweet things. You can also lower your general risk of disease and illness by eating sugar free. These sweets also contain lower allergens and are better for your teeth health!
Okay, are you ready to find out your sugar-free options to keep you healthy and safe? You will get much better value if you buy wholesale sweets, and we highly recommend the following two brands:
